Balarāma’s Pilgrimage Context
प्राप्तवान् परमां सिद्धि परं योगं च भारत । भारत! इन सब बातोंको सोच-विचारकर देवलने जो संन्यास लेनेका ही निश्चय किया, उससे उन्होंने परमसिद्धि और उत्तम योगको प्राप्त कर लिया ।।
prāptavān paramāṃ siddhiṃ paraṃ yogaṃ ca bhārata | tato devāḥ samāgamya bṛhaspatipurogamāḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana said: “O Bhārata, by reflecting on all this and resolving to embrace saṃnyāsa, Devala attained the highest perfection and the supreme discipline of yoga. Thereafter the gods assembled, with Bṛhaspati at their head.”

Educational Q&A
Deliberate discernment culminating in renunciation (saṃnyāsa) is presented as a legitimate dharmic route to the highest siddhi and the supreme yoga—inner mastery rather than merely external achievement.
The narrator states that the person in question has attained supreme spiritual success; immediately after, the scene shifts to the gods assembling, led by Bṛhaspati, implying a divine response or acknowledgment of that attainment.
